2012 CLS550 4MATIC
Hello
Hello all. New member here. Moved on from my 2007 Infiniti M45 Sport to a '12 CLS550 with 44k on the odometer.
My M was a beast, but this car is a monster. Loving everything, from the aesthetics to the rumble of the engine.
The M forum had a ton of useful info, hoping to learn a bunch about this car from the useful info on this forum as well.
Since I am new to this ride, anything I should be, um, up to speed on(bad pun, I know) on this ride? Any gotchas, etc?
Got a lot of reading to catch up on! Thanks!

After being on this forum for about a week you'll want to tune, add wheels, carbon fiber, etc, etc, etc. Lol. I thought I was only going to add wheels, lower, tune, & update my music. After being on here I want to do much more now. Some sick rides on here, a ton of info, & plenty of guys willing to help with any questions. Welcome to the forum & enjoy that CLS.

DarkGable79, thanks man. Yea, not sure I'm going to do anything for the foreseeable future. I'm covered with a warranty through '19, so don't want to do anything to void that. The car is beautiful as-is.
My wife has an ML350 and while that SUV has been reliable in terms of engine, it's had small/annoying issues like constant replacing of bulbs, etc. Just looking to see if there are any similar type of "gotchas" this MB model may have.
By the way, BDK fan?

Lol. I used to listen to BDK growing up, but I never knew that was an alias. I got this nickname cuz a group of my buddies said that I was dark (skin tone) & handsome like Clark Gable. So they swapped out Clark for dark & there you have it.
